Re: The Official Metal Thread

El Caco is a little more "rock" than metal, but have that heavy '70s guitar sound. They were part of a great Swedish movement of stoney retro-style rock that i found extremely appealing, along with Hellacopters and Backyard Babies.

Huge Melvins fan....been listening/seeing them since forever. Thought you knew that. But, I don't lump them into the stoner rock category. They kind of sit by themselves with me. Have listened to Baroness (when they played Coachella...they didn't stick for some reason). But, I'm really diggin' the OG.

Loving this. Wish I could find it in vinyl. I suspect the "muddy" mastering is intentional, but I'm sure it would pop properly with the vinyl. But, this is really nice psych, stoner stuff...right in my wheelhouse. Cheers.

Re: The Official Metal Thread

Ooh man, you really can't go wrong with any of them. I think I'm slightly partial to Oceanic, but Panopticon and Wavering Radiant are excellent as well. If you like them at their sludgiest, the Mosquito Control EP slays.
